I have a new arrival, and I know you guys will share the excitement, as most of my family/friends will just think I’m bonkers!
This lovely lady joined the family on Sunday - she’s rising 3, 3/4 ID, 1/4 cob called Silver Satin. About 15.2, to make around 16hh, maybe a little more.
I’d been keeping an eye out for a little while for a chunky, decent sized allrounder type, partly for me as I’ve started to get back into actually riding rather than just being the support act for youngest child, and partly with the long view of knowing he will end up 6ft+, and so 15hh little Penny once she’s backed will only be the next step on his journey!
As usual, I wasn’t overly planning to get another baby, but there was something about her, and it was enough to make the 6 hour round trip to see her. In many ways it feels right, she’s the same age as Penny so will have a playmate once they’re all in together, and I’m in no rush with either of them. And she’s an absolute sweetheart, seems like an old head on young shoulders, very sensible, and more than happy to be handled by the 10-year-old child.
In fact, I think I’ve lost her already - they seem smitten with each other! ?
